Goniochromism is the property of certain surfaces to change their colour depending on the angle under which they are viewed. From a physics standpoint this is rather uncommon behaviour, and in man-made objects this is usually only found in paints that are specifically designed for the effect.

Examples are pearlescent paints or interference pigments, which are sometimes used for custom paint jobs on cars.
